[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 643084, member: 3493"] I had no relationship with my parents, who are both gone now. I have a horrible feeling that my difficult child, who is now 20, will move out one day and never call us again. I have not been abusive to him or any of my kids but difficult child is like me in that he is not sentimental and can "x" people out of his life like I do. I fear that his similarity to me in that way will allow him to do to me what I did to my parents (though they deserved it). My daughter said that she is afraid that difficult child will be the child lost to us as well. Even at college, he rarely calls and never wants to just hang out. It's scary to see my coping mechanism playing out in one of my children. I don't want to lose him... [/QUOTE]
